knitr::opts_chunk$set(warning = F, message = F, echo = F)Remove turnovers, unavailable prior to 1980
Use farthest year back that contains assists (1968).
Turnovers aren’t available until 1979. Don’t worry about breaking out 3 pts, 2 pts and FT, since overall points go back to 1959. Not all stats are available for older years. Need to figure out why/which years are comparable.
